Who laid this egg??

[Deezchix]

I have two young pullets. The Lavender Orpington has been laying for over a month I think. Her egg is on the left. She is pretty consistant in laying this size and color, sometimes even lighter more like a cream/ivory. Now today I find the egg on the right, smaller and more of a pinkish hue. Is it possible my Speckled Sussex has laid her first egg? Or is this a common shade for LO?

Yes, Sussex lay more of a pinkish tinged egg. Not sure about Orpingtons and if their egg colour can look like that too. But my guess would be your Sussex has started laying

Thank you, that is awesome news!

If you want to be certain, pick up your Sussex and check her vent. If the pubic bones are still tight together and her vent is still really small, it's not her. If the pubic bones (just below the vent) are a little flexible and the vent is larger and more of an oval shape, she's started laying. (just pick up your known layer and compare the areas)
